Day dreaming about easter hols...

I'm officially on hols now!
There are so many exciting moments to look forward to that I find reading through the micro size printing in font of me relatively unappealing and impossible to achieve. Just got the news from ahem that Michelle and baby Xander are coming with Aunty Joss (don't worry, I'll be an aunty soon). Sometimes I question my receptivity. Joss had given the first clue of 'bringing a surprise with her from Dunedin' and Canai had blurted 'Michelle can drive'. Though suspicious, I never make the connection that Michelle is the surprise from Dunedin. Duh! Anyway, I am very excited now.

It has been an interesting but tiring week. I have learned a lot BUT I have to keep my senses up all the time. The GPs I was attaching to on Tuesday were very . . . interesting. They are couples in their mid 60s. The husband is a philosopher/GP/acupuncturist/homeopathist and I was bizarre at how versatile he is. Incorporating philosophy and alternative medicine into his mainstream conventional practice. He taught me about the philosophy and theory behind chinese medicine, the points and channels and at the same time the anatomy and biochemistry of human body system. ^^ Confusing yet impressive.

His wife is a very experienced GP but I was scare stiff of her! I think she might have a little bit of hearing problem because her voice is BOOMING. There were even times I thought she was scolding the patients but it was just the nature of her BOOMING voice. Her patients did not seem to mind at all. But my heart was pounding against my rib cage so loudly that when she asked me to take the blood pressure, I could have mistaken my own heart beat to the Korotkoff sound >__<. Out of the blue, she would shove me some questions. Some of the questions are alright but there were some that I have never heard of. Like pilonidal sinus. It sounded so much like paranasal sinus that I made a fool out of myself by explaining an entire different thing.

At the end of the day, I really thanked her for being such a good teacher though my facial skin has thickened a few inches.

Woohoo! Two more days!
